Description:

Abstract:

My present invention is designed as a portable attachment to metalworking lathes for the purpose of enabling the operator to do the work of large lathes upon a small one, which without the attachment could not do the work.

This attachment enables the operator to do the work upon a small lathe, requiring but a slight change.

Claim:

A lathe attachment comprising a support removably mounted upon a lathe-bed, a rotatable shaft in said support, carrying a gear-wheel at one end and threaded at the other ico to receive faceplates of different sizes, a gear-wheel mounted on the spindle of the lathe in the position of the ordinary face-plate, and gears intermediate the last-mentioned gearwheel and that on the shaft of the removable support.
